2
How mirrors and reflection work (to use more mirrors for example) How light travels in a straight line The rotation of the mirrors They discover the way of learning by using and making a periscope
3
Starter activity: (To introduce them to the concept of reflection and the angles of mirrors) Firstly, the teacher start to demonstrate how the laser reflects at the mirrors Teacher and students together are going to discover the 90 degrees angle (and other angles as well) Introduce parallel, convergent and divergent lines through the demonstration
4
Main activity: (Making the periscopes in groups in school) The children will make a group periscope, working together with the teacher Each child will have the opportunity to work with the periscope and see how it works by studying it more closely. The teacher will give the students tasks to complete using their periscope e.g. looking around the corner to view a hidden object.
5
School Students cooperating in groups Home Parents and children working together
6
Creating the periscope Kitchen roll / Pringles tubes Plane mirrors Scissors Pictures of periscopes Materials can be collected by parents at home
7
Starter activity: Whole class with the teacher demonstrating Making the periscopes: Cooperative group work Home : Working with parents, using mirrors and changing angles to show the relationship between reflection and the angle of the mirrors in their home.
8
Space : Demonstration inside the classroom Activities in school (outdoor and indoor) and at home Discussion about mirrors and reflection begun in school by teacher with students and developed at home by parents Time : 20 minutes to demonstrate 30 minutes to make the periscope 20 minutes to partake in activities using the periscope and exploring how it works
9
WHAT? Construction of periscopes Cooperation Importance of angles of mirrors Understanding and following instructions WHY? Applying this to the real world (understanding the world around them) Understanding complex concepts by hands-on experience i.e. learning by doing HOW? Understand how mirrors and their reflections work and the creation of a periscope.
